Re: Strange filetimes with RAPI CopyFileToDevice

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I thought I saw this a couple years ago and tried to fix it - maybe I only
considered fixing it but never actually got around to doing so. Until today
actually, when a colleage needed to use it, I'd not looked at the RAPI stuff
for over a year. With all the work we're pushing on for the upcoming SDF
2.0 release, I don't see me debugging this anytime soon. If you find a fix
and send it in, by all means I'll incorporate it, but the likelyhood of
OpenNETCF fixing it before year's end is really low.
